service the pump - you should service the pumps roughly every 3 months, it is simple to do, take the pump off and remove the rear pump plate and clean it all out.
If left too long the pump will create drag and wear the motor.

Do I need to add grease or anything?

mine was the same way, but i was told to add a small drop of 3in1 oil to the pegs that the rollers sit on. the squeak has gone away and no issues so far.
i should also say i did try to clean it first but it was only a week old when it started to squeak and i did not see anything in there
geez, is that what that horrible noise was last night? I thought your cat was dying.
ya, I just pop the motors out every now and then and clean it as Michael suggested. Pretty easy to do actually.
